I personally think he is the best candidate for this position. FAmSCo also nominated him in the last meeting [1]. However, since this has been discussed in Ambassadors list only, I think it is best to raise it in Marketing, Design, etc. mailing lists. They may have some other candidates. That would be also an idea in the last FAmSCo meeting and I will do it now. Kind regards, Tuan [1] http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting-2/2014-10-14/famsco-2014101…

Hi, I'm traveling from LinuxCon Europe tonight and can't attend the EMEA ambassadors meeting which should start in #fedora-meeting at 10pm which is why I'm looking for a volunteer to chair the meeting and send the meeting minutes to this mailing list afterwards. If you can do it, just go ahead and start the meeting at 10pm. Jiri

My size in both ones are "L". I think it is best to put both of them into two columns: Asia size and US size. After deciding the manufacturer, we will ask them which size standard are they using then give them that information. Kind regards, Tuan

fedora council: heads up, ambassadors :)
by Matthew Miller 09 Oct '14

09 Oct '14

Hi everyone. The proposal for a new Fedora Council, replacing the Fedora Project Board, is on its way to passing. See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MatthewMiller/council-draft for the complete proposal. One important aspect of this is an "Outreach Representative", which we've asked to be selected by FAmSCo. From the document: "Engineering" and "Outreach" are broad areas roughly encompassing two of the major areas of activity in Fedora. Engineering is the technical work related to building and releasing the Fedora operating system and the infrastructure related to that. Outreach includes marketing, support, and Fedora Ambassadors — largely activities that happen between Fedora and the world at large, with the distribution release cycle serving as a fuel source, not the thing that's being worked on. The engineering and outreach representatives' responsibility is to represent their areas collectively, not to be just an individual voice that happens to be voted-in by some subset of Fedora. They are selected by the people active in those areas, coordinated by the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee (FESCo) and the Fedora Ambassadors Steering Committee (FAmSCo) respectively, and serve for terms to be determined by those committees. Once the board ticket for voting on this is officially closed, we'll file a FAmSCo ticket about this, but I wanted to get the conversation started without more delay (since I don't expect it to be resolved immediately). One particular thing of note is that Outreach is much larger in scope than Ambassadors has traditionally been defined. This doesn't mean we're putting those other areas of under the _rule_ of the ambassadors' steering committee, but we would like someone who can also help _represent_ those concerns and act as a bridge. I was particuarly struck by Christoph Wickert's "Advocating Fedora.next talk at Flock *, where he talked about getting the project message down into the on-the-ground ambassadors and out, and I've had talks with others (hi there, Andrew!) about how disconnected it can feel right now, so hopefully this will help. And not just in one direction — this is an important conduit for getting real-world feedback and user experience back into the project. We didn't discuss this in much depth on the Board, but a further idea worth considering is expanding FAmSCo into a Fedora Outreach Steering Committee, explicitly embracing and including all of project outreach. (Or creating a new such committee with FAmSCo below that, but I don't think _more_ committees is necesssarily a good thing.) This would help keep the cross-group burden from just being on one person. What do you all think? * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2O1bMT5a5Y&t=75 -- Matthew Miller <mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org> Fedora Project Leader
